Predicting positive youth development among Chinese adolescents: A machine learning approach using multiwave longitudinal data.

Despite growing recognition that positive youth development (PYD) depends on the dynamic interaction of individual and ecological resources, existing studies rely on linear models that cannot capture high-dimensional, nonlinear predictor configurations. This study applied machine learning to four-wave longitudinal data...

Construction of an Early Warning Model for Academic Burnout among High School Students Based on Learning Behaviour Data

An explainable machine-learning approach to identifying cases of academic burnout among high school students based on their observable learning behaviors is suggested, using a publicly accessible dataset that includes information about 649 adolescents and contains no validated burnout measurement.

Explainable Machine Learning for Predicting Social Media Addiction: Implications for Digital Well-Being Among University Students

Excessive and poorly regulated social media use among university students has been linked to reduced concentration, academic underperformance, and declining digital well-being. However, most predictive approaches to identifying at-risk students rely on opaque, black-box machine learning models that offer little insight...

Ecological Correlates of Depressive Symptoms among Chinese Adolescents: A Random Forest and Nomogram Analysis of CFPS Data

Background Adolescence represents a critical developmental stage characterized by complex stressors, including academic pressure and interpersonal challenges, which significantly elevate the risk of depressive symptoms. While conventional research predominantly relies on linear methodologies focusing on isolated enviro...
